David Ring, nationally known speaker and head of David Ring Ministries, will speak at Southside Baptist Church in Fayetteville Sunday, Feb. 28, at 6 p.m.

This is a one night, special free event. A love offering will be taken.

David Ring was born with cerebral palsy on October 28, 1953 in Jonesboro, Ark. After being orphaned at an early age, he says he was cast about from “pillar to post.”

“Life seemed worse than hopeless until my relationship began with Jesus Christ,” Ring says, “who taught me self respect and an acceptance of my physical challenges.”

As a nationally known speaker since 1973, David shares his story with over 100,000 people each year at churches, conventions, schools and corporate events. He has been featured on numerous occasions on “The Old Time Gospel Hour” with the Rev. Jerry Falwell, as well as other nationally televised programs.

David says he always focuses on an individual’s need to overcome personal handicaps and adversities of life. As one who has not been stifled by his physical limitations, he clearly states his challenge to everyone, “I have cerebral palsy – What’s your problem?”

To most, physical challenges of this magnitude would prove to be a tombstone. For David Ring, his coming of age was, and remains, a milestone.
